3rd International Conference on
Transportation Geotechnics (3rd ICTG)
4-‐7 September 2016
Guimarães, PORTUGAL
Workshop 1: Geosynthetics in Transportation Geotechnics
Venue University of Minho, School of Engineering, Guimarães, Portugal
Date 4 September 2016
Sponsored by
Organized by: Portuguese Geotechnical Society (SPG), Portuguese Chapter of the International Geosynthetic Society (IGS), University of Minho and International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE).
Introduction Geosynthetic-‐reinforced soil structures, the use of geosynthetics in pavement and related engineering are now one of the indispensible components in transportation geotechnics for roads and railways. Now it is the time to collect and summarize its state-‐of-‐the-‐art and discuss on the perspectives of the use of geosynthetics for transportation infrastructures (roads, airfields and railways).
Goals of the workshop • State-‐of-‐the-‐art of the use of geosynthetics in
transportation geotechnics • Theory and research of geosynthetics
engineering for transportation engineering • Issues in practice • Perspective
